In the seventh Major final of his career – the 39th on the major circuit – Sinner becomes the first Italian in history to reach the final stage of the Championships more than once and is the 18th player of the Open Era to play the Wimbledon final twice in a row. With 99 victories in total in the Slams, Sinner will be chasing his fifth Major title against Alexander Zverev. The German eliminated the surprise of the tournament Arthur Fery in three sets with a score of 7-6 (0) 6-2 6-4.
It will be match number 15 between Sinner and Zverev, who have never played against each other on grass: the balance is 10-4 in favor of the blue, who has won the last nine direct clashes. The last defeat dates back to the US Open in 2023. The two met four times in 2026 with four victories for the blue: in the semi-finals of the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo and in the final at the Masters 1000 in Madrid.
Sinner: “Satisfied with having raised the level of play”
«Thanks to the London crowd for the wonderful atmosphere today. Novak is an inspiration for all the new generation and we have always played close games. He came from a complicated match against Felix Auger-Aliassime: I tried to be aggressive and serve well against the best returner on the circuit.” Thus Jannik Sinner, in the on-court interview, after his success over Djokovic in the 2026 Wimbledon semi-final. «I tried to shuffle the cards and I’m satisfied. Every match is different and the grass changes a lot over the course of the tournament. Today it was important to raise the level of play and I did it. I’m happy to be back in the final”, adds Sinner, who will play for the title against Alexander Zverev.
